Shocking, right?

So, What Exactly Did Doull Say?

Speaking to Cricbuzz, Doull said, “I see a great player, someone who should be dominating more. When I talk about him, I talk about his strike rate. I felt he was scared of getting out, worried about what’s coming next instead of saying, ‘I’m this good.'”

That’s Always Been My Point

He added, “He worries about getting out, and that’s always been my point. I’ve said a thousand good things about Virat Kohli, but say one negative thing or get misinterpreted, and I get death threats. It’s a shame.”
